lyrics

Your kind of beauty must be wrong
Burning like a fire in your face
I wish I’d never ever seen you
Walk into this dirty drunken place

I did not want no conversation
I did not ask to know your name
My head was sinking into my whiskey
And that’s where I had been planning to stay

Cause there never was a reason to be evil
Darling you just do it cause you can
And this whole sad city full of fools
Just waiting to be your man

The sweet air rushing past our faces
Made it hard to hear the dying of your love
But I felt it in all of the right places
And I always have been ready to give up

Cause there never was a reason to be evil
Darling you just do it cause you can
And this whole sad city full of fools
Just waiting to be your man

Keeper of the twilight
Secrets of a bright bad day
Won’t you take all of my sweet sad dreams away
Keeper of the twilight
Secrets of a bright bad day
Won’t you take my dreams away

Cause there never was a reason to be evil
Darling you just do it cause you can
And this whole sad city full of fools
Just waiting to be your...
